Hello, I'm a KeepassXC user on Debian 11. My keepassxc version is 2.6.2+dfgs.1-1 as referenced here.
Yes, there is a configuration file located at ~/.cache/keepassxc/ keepassxc.ini But there is also a configuration file located at ~/.config/keepassxc/ keepassxc.ini When you diff them you can see that configuration in .cache are last temporary config like last open databases. IMO, there is no bug there Regards, Arnaud On Fri, 28 May 2021 13:21:55 +0200 Elrond < elrond+bugs.debian....@samba-tng.org> wrote: > Package: keepassxc > Version: 2.6.2+dfsg.1-1 > Severity: important > > Hi, > > (Version in reality: 2.6.2+dfsg.1-1~bpo10+1) > > keepassxc 2.6.2 saves a lot of its config in > ~/.cache/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini > > This is not good! > ~/.cache is for cache files and not for config files. > This folder is allowed to be cleaned.
